Megadeth filmed a video for the title track and first single from the band’s new album, “Super Collider”, on Friday, May 10 in the Los Angeles area. California-based model, actress, singer and songwriter Hunter Elizabeth was cast in the lead role in the clip, which she says is “about a high-school couple still loving each other after all the years after graduation, and at the 10-year reunion, both characters find themselves successful (a model and a mathematician) and still very in love.”
A few photos from the set of the “Super Collider” video shoot can be seen below.
The title track and first single from Megadeth‘s new album, “Super Collider”, can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The song, which was premiered on Full Metal Jackie‘s nationally syndicated radio metal show on April 20, was released digitally on April 23 via iTunes.
“That song kind of came from that ‘Symphony Of Destruction’ corner of my mind,” Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine told Guitar World magazine. “You can’t always play aggressive, thrashy stuff. Sometimes those aren’t even songs; they’re like musical rams. But because I’m not a pop guy, I’m also not really comfortable playing sing-along songs. To me,‘Super Collider’ made sense like a normal song — a verse-chorus-verse-chorus kind of thing. It’s written the way a real songwriter would write the song, instead of just taking all these musical twists and turns.”
“Super Collider” is scheduled for a June 4 release via Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine‘s new label, Tradecraft, which is distributed by Universal Music Enterprises [UMe]. Horn player Bob Findley — who previously appeared on the track “Silent Scorn” from Megadeth‘s 2001 CD, “The World Needs A Hero” — is a featured guest on the song “A House Divided” on the new album. Other tracks set to appear on the effort include “Forget To Remember”, “Dance In The Rain”, “The Blackest Crow”, “Burn”, “King Maker” and “Don’t Turn Your Back”, a snippet of which can be streamed at MegadethGame.com.
“Super Collider” is Megadeth‘s first release since its recent split with Roadrunner Records.
